Lions 51-13.
Was a good game.
I wish Brendon could have watched it.
The Russians played the game he suggests the Bokke play. With pods and attemted forward domination. If he had watched the Russians he would have seen what an idiot he is for suggesting the Boks play this kind of game plan.
As it was the Lions were outstanding in arts and disappointing in others.
Lionel Cronje and Franco Mostert were brilliant. Mostert dominated the lineouts whilst Cronje took the ball so flat he was crossing the advantage line almost at will.
With Cronje running distribution, Verster, Hanekom and Helberg were causing havoc for the Russians.
